Full Time Store Associate
June 2019 • Lynchburg, VA
What I liked
The organization of the company was something that I really became impressed with. I also loved how simple the business model is. A lot of the times Aldi had just enough people for the day and night time.
What I wish was different
We ran into a lot of problems with people not staying long enough in the job. Since the job is very physically taxing not many people lasted. I was one of six people hired in June and I am one of the only ones who is still there from that cycle of hires.
Advice
If you need physical job, Aldi is for you. I dropped so much weight working there and have stronger arms because of it.

Associate
June 2015 - October 2019 • Columbus, OH
What I liked
I liked that working at Aldi was really a work out. You have to be strong and fast and it really builds a lot of muscle. You’re timed at everything you do so it makes you constantly think of more efficient ways to get the job done.
What I wish was different
I wish there hadn’t been so much discrimination against co-workers of different racial backgrounds. I wish co-workers and managers were not allowed to openly disrespect each other. I wish it had been a more professional work environment. There were a lot of HRA violations.
Advice
Aldi is a great job when you’re down on your luck or really struggling. If you’re not planning on moving up the ladder then it’s not really a feasible job to do long term because it creates a lot of wear and tear on your body. But if you need a part time job that’s going to keep you fit, Aldi is the place.
